An ex LV unit, now D&H, looks on at the remains of its old home as it passes between the semaphores at Tioga Center with a 53 car BUME. Standing orders were to run NYSW power head out when practicable. Sometimes it just wasn't.

This was down a side road off NY17C. There was a water supply plant there, but the road was often gated. It was open this day, and I took the opportunity to get BUME rolling through the pair of signals there.

Six NYSW units lead what looks like a KL 1, but was called MEBU on the radio. There were probably not enough cars to run the trains separately-the car count was 73 on this train-so they were combined, saving a crew start. We see the train near the Tioga County transfer station, about where the LV Auburn Branch ducked under the EL. Two of the original four B40's are on this train.

While the semaphores here got almost all the attention-justifiably-there was also another Erie relic in town. Unbeknownst to many, there was an Erie station still standing here. It was in pretty bad shape by 1990, but still up. NYK 6 passes with 60 stack platforms behind a pair of yellowjackets.

Many fans went to Tioga Center to shoot trains at the well known twin semaphores. Few knew there was a station in that town as well. It was not hard to find, you just needed to follow a side street off NY 17C to get to it. It was in bad shape by the time I shot this in 1990, and had collapsed by the late 90s. NYK6 passes en route to Jersey.

And a few NYSW units, including both F45s. There are a few other odds and ends in this shot taken from the trailer park next to the yard, including EMD test bed PLM 3041, and RS 36 5009, both partly visible. I was not able to get the numbers, but there is also a D&H GP 38 and a C424 back in the line.
